Stumbled across an old election notice I received from Vigo di Cadore while purging documents today. Forgot that Italy offers discounted #train travel if you return to your hometown to vote. There's something charming about that.

What double the median income in Portland gets you versus inner ring suburbs of Detroit.

In other news, I finally worked up enough energy and resolve to walk into Planet Fitness and cancel my account. No one needs that kind of recurring monthly guilt in their life.

I swear, if Libby didn't begin with the first three letters of Library, I'd forget the name every time I search for the app on my phone.

My most used AI prompt is without a doubt "how do I rewrite this to ensure I don't sound like a dick."

the people screaming online daily about boycotting x, y, and z had better be in formation...

Narcan but for thoughts

Is the clothing at Fred Meyer getting cooler or am I just aging into it 🤔

A non-technical person's drama with Bonfire: "It's easy to deploy Bonfire with Yunohost!" "Oh, you can't do that on a Mac. But you can run a Debian VM!" Downloads UTM, Installs VM "Oh, Debian 13 isn't supported!" Installs new Debian 12 VM Installs Yunohost "Bonfire failed to install."

I mean, this should be common sense, right? Start by ensuring that alternatives to driving that are not absolute shit exist, and then once you've got as much choice mode share as possible, use those alternatives to aggressively remove car space from cities

So be careful. Silence always helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Don't let your good manners work in favor of keeping people down. Speak up Loudly & often.

Really interesting article about how predictably people choose 4 digit codes: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-2...

The journey continues aboard the Mardi Gras Service to Mobile, Alabama. This service only started a few months ago and is the result of over a decade of work by the Southern Rail Service to restore Amtrak service that had been suspended since Katrina (2005).

A former Kroger replenishment buyer colluded with #Oregon produce vendors on price fixing, according to the Department of Justice. Remember, Kroger owns Fred Meyer and QFC. www.supermarketnews.com/fresh-produc...

I regret to inform everyone that these people really, truly believe mass deportations are good and moral and necessary, and they genuinely do not care about the pain and suffering they're inflicting because those impacted are not truly human to them

Love when a company/institution/news agency/nonprofit has an active Bluesky presence that isn’t a bot.

Did anyone I know in Portland, OR actually see the northern lights last night? Couldn’t see anything myself but was thinking about heading out of town tonight if they’re visible with the naked eye and not just though a camera lens. #portland #pdx #northernlights

Hey look, another disastrous thing. #oregon #pdx #education #portland

@popfeed.social is the coolest thing happening right now IMHO.

A Very Portland Weekend: https://bryanrobb.com/a-very-portland-weekend/

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

@larand.one hey Larry, can I ask how you imported your blog to Pika? I just paid for a pro account and want to move some things over but it looks like it’s either a manual process or reach out to the team?

@me@mszpro.com I just realized I paid for a pro subscription for an app that’s no longer on the App Store. I had Sora downloaded on my phone and paid for lifetime. Is it no longer supported?

an overview of the current state of blogging on atproto, and how it gives insight on what decentralisation on atproto actually looks like in practice

I’m really digging all of these different projects utilizing #atproto Testing out photo galleries on @grain.social grain.social/profile/afte...

I’ve slowly been building out a new website under my own name. As part of that, I’m filling in some details about trips I’ve taken over the last couple of years. Here’s a post about the second leg of my trip to Italy last year covering the Dolomites and some dual citizenship tidbits: Dolomites

How mail-in voting works when a state treats voting as a right, not something to be suppressed.

I need a new hobby like I need a sharp stick in the eye, but I’ve always wanted to learn how to paint. Maybe in another season of life.

Slowly starting to believe ATProto will be what IndieWeb hoped it could be.

Coining the term QUIMBYism right now and releasing it to the urbanists free of charge. Quality urbanism in my backyard, friends. The middle path between Karens and bootlickers.

This is every industry now. Professionals are just gatekeeping because everyone is an expert on everything.

I was looking at getting a Remarkable Paper Pro but the friction to read books is just too much. I’m not a big Amazon fan, but using Kindle Scribe Colorsoft with Libby would be amazing, especially for reading graphic novels with my son.

I think Ghost should’ve gone the ATProto/PDS route like Leaflet.pub.

Having been deep in the Apple ecosystem for almost 15 years, I’ve rarely found Samsung or Google products appealing. But I stopped by a big-box store today and tried out some of their tablets and phones. I was impressed. For the first time, much of Apple’s lineup feels stale in comparison.
